Heard nothing today, neither by phone, nor a reply to my email reply.
Funny and all what with me considering places I like to be. Here is one of those places.
I would keep calling, ask to speak to the charge nurse in the ER and don't take no for an answer. If she's been moved tell them who you are and you have heard nothing and need someone to talk to her and get permission to talk to you. Tell them you KNOW she's there although you also know they can't affirm it unless they get permission, ask them to please mention your name and ask if it's OK to speak with you, that would be maddening to me. I'm a retired psych RN, don't let them give you the runaround. I understand why there is HIPPA but I think it's goes way overboard sometimes and it sounds to me that they are being lazy because it only take two minutes to ask no matter how busy they are..

Yeah actually I know what she's in the hospital for, so I'm not in anxiety. What I meant to say when I posted the image above is I just came in scratch under the wire myself with my passport. It finally arrived after [ungodly jaw-dropping tale redacted] considerable effort. And now, in some ironic moment, I'm making every effort my next step is sure. What we are talking about is Europe (me being me) in an enterprise it's taken me a very long time to come round to the admission it could be fun.
And well be I'm generally quiet about what it is I do when free of corporate. If the corporate hierarchy might be compared to the military hierarchy, I would have worn captain's bars (with equivalent personal risk). Now I'm doing something more natural to me, and looking after my own health. I'm in a position to help my sister but she's physically inaccessible to me right this moment.
The crisis with my sister occurred exactly as a crisis in my actual work occurred and only today were we able to complete that. In full expectation Thursday will be much better all around.

Fingers crossed for you in all respects.

Thursday and looking at taking a long coffee. A morning meeting for a completely unrelated matter is canceled. Our work project is complete and hold no expectations of hearing from any of the team. All of which means my day is mine to do with as I wish.
I saw the old guy with a massive bulldog that lives up the street yesterday. Passed by and waved. Two hours later on the way home, the guy is still out there standing beside the dog. The dog is laying on a park bench and refuses to move. The guy says that the dog has anxiety and won’t be calm if he is forced to go in before he wants to. So he patiently waits and tries to convince the dog to get up. This dog totally calls the shots. I have a relative that used to take his dog to obedience school. The dog was held back and failed to graduate.
Life isn’t like it used to be. I’m thinking the we’re moving in the direction of Planet of the Apes and humans will be there to serve.

"We don't deserve dogs" is something I hear now and again. Very happy for the dog in my life. Fluency in dog is not difficult for me. But I went to a good school. 
I think that animals communicate on a level that we can”t fully comprehend. they all communicate with one another. Birds a very vocal, they fly in perfectly synced flocks, fish swim in schools. they teach their young.
With dogs there are physical as well as facial expressions. They respond to and provide emotional queues. Maybe telepathy is used. Although a bark at the door is used to convey an urgent need.

It was all over as soon as cats domesticated the Egyptians.
You neighbor with the bulldog is already there.
I like Cape Cod but Price Edward Island and the Labrador coast are two amazing places. In PEI you could walk along the beach for hours at a national park and never see anyone except for jellyfish and those little birds that run in and out on the shore after the waves hit. No jaws but why take a chance in the water. Last time we were there was probably early '70's. A farm on the ocean was affordable back then. I imagine that a lot has changed but the scenery has been preserved. I can still vividly recall the fried clams and lobster from a roadside shack where the boats would dock. Also, they grow a lot of potatoes. The soil is red.
Some day, I hope to get back there.

Closer to home for me is the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC. No red soil to speak of and don't recall any lobster but, beautiful ocean, sand, salmon, crab, shrimp, prawns...but they won't let me in

It seems that maybe you can if visiting immediate family. To qualify, you have to self quarantine stay for 14 days.

I was thinking those photos are really of Oklahoma.Shenanigans. That's fotoshopped with Georgia red clay.
But if it, indeed red clay, here's the theme song to go with it.

I’ve never been to Georgia, but have had it on my mind.
